Combustion models
• Power supply for the receiver requires a battery/rechargeable battery box with four mignon batteries/rechargeable
batteries or a rechargeable battery pack with 5 cells. This has to be connected to port "B" on the receiver.
• Set the linkage of the throttle/brake servo in such a way that the carburettor linkage is in central position and the
brake is not yet activated. For this purpose, see the operating instructions of the motor and the model.
• The butterfly valve should be almost closed (idle position).
• If you move the lever for throttle/brake (ill. 1, pos. 6) on the transmitter backwards towards the handle, the carburettor
must be opened completely.
• If the throttle servo runs in the wrong direction, reverse the direction of the servo with the reverse switch for throttle/
brake (ill. 1, pos. 8).
• By conducting practical tests, you can now determine the point of the rudder horn at which the you must attach the
carburettor linkage to achieve the best possible opening of the carburettor.
• When you push the throttle/brake lever (ill. 1, pos. 6) all the way forward, the brake of the vehicle must engage. An
adjustment screw on the carburettor prevents the carburettor from closing completely. This way the engine will not
stall when the brakes are applied.
• With the help of the springs and adjuster rings on the linkage, set the proper function of the butterfly valve on the
carburettor prior to the first start of the motor.
• Using the trim control for throttle/brake (see ill. 1, pos. 4), you can fine-tune the idle run of the motor. Then re-adjust
the throttle controls until the trim button is set exactly in the middle again at optimum idling.
Adjusting the steering servo
• On the transmitter, set the trim control for trimming the steering (ill. 1, pos. 3) to the center position.
• The wheel (ill. 1, pos. 2) for the steering servo is automatically retained in center position by the spring power.
• Please check whether the servo lever is correctly mounted in neutral position. Equal curve radiuses are only possible
if the steering linkage can travel the same path in both directions.
• Check whether the wheels steer to the left when you move the steering wheel (ill. 1. pos. 2) to the left. If this is not the
case, reverse the direction of the servo with the reverse switch for the steering servo (ill. 1, pos. 12).
• Now adjust the steering linkage until the wheels point straight forward on the model.
• During the first drive, set the trim control for the steering (ill. 1, pos. 3) in such a way that the model drives straight.
• Then readjust the steering linkage in the corresponding direction until the model runs straight and until the trim
control for steering (ill. 1, pos. 3) is in center position again. This gives you the full trim path later on.
Our tip:
Your model car drives perfectly straight when you set a slight toe-in. To do so, adjust the steering link so
that both front wheels steer slightly inward.
